It's no wonder the publicists put Celia Imrie front and centre on the posters and thumbnails for this one, because she is, literally, all it's got going for it. (With the possible exception of the sets/locations - which are tastefully low-key.)
Celia Imrie plays a slightly frail-looking grandmother who used to be a trapeze artist. I've rarely seen her in anything but comedy, but she brings immense acting skills to this part. He facial expressions and body language tell a story all their own and give her character immense depth. She is even given some decent lines, which she delivers with great feel and timing.
Unfortunately, Imrie's character seems to have wandered into some kind of Hallmark film, set in London's fair city where the girls are so pretty (and the men all look like catalogue models and just as wooden). Pretty little people walking around saying their lines, and like me, wondering what the hell the scene is about, or whether the film will ever develop an actual plot. Admittedly, I didn't make it all the way to the end, but I was a long way in when I finally gave up.
